CHAPTER IX.

HOW THE ONE-EYED COBLER WAS DESIRED TO PRAY FOR THE

CHRISTIANS.

Now when this vision had visited the Bishop several times, he related

the whole matter to the Christians, and they agreed with one consent to

call the Cobler before them. And when he had come they told him it was

their wish that he should pray, and that God had promised to accomplish

the matter by his means. On hearing their request he made many excuses,

declaring that he was not at all so good a man as they represented. But

they persisted in their request with so much sweetness, that at last he

said he would not tarry, but do what they desired.
